Accreditation Information
Our business programs are among the best. We are accredited by AACSB International, a mark of excellence achieved by less than 5% of all business schools worldwide.
As a management major, you will have the opportunity to learn by doing through study abroad, competitions, student clubs and organizations, company projects, and student/faculty research. By learning outside of the classroom, you will discover new ways of thinking and make valuable connections.
In addition to an in-demand degree, you'll also gain skills in a variety of disciplines which will add to your management expertise. You will explore topics in human resources, operations and supply chain management, accounting and information systems. This wide range of knowledge and experience will set you apart from other job candidates.
Management students are highly encouraged to participate in internships — some of which even count for credit. These experiences can help you get your foot in the door at places where you might be interested in working.
Our knowledgeable and supportive faculty prepare graduates to be effective managers. They know exactly what employers and organizations are looking for and how you can best set yourself up for success. Small class sizes allow you to form meaningful relationships and gain an even more personalized education.

My professors’ knowledge about the subjects they teach is incredible. Almost all of them had careers in business before becoming professors, so they bring real world examples to class. They’ve taught me much more than what’s in the textbook.
